The Scope E-Newsletter June 2009

As our academic year comes to an end, I want to congratulate all of you who are completing your residency education and wish you the very best in your future endeavors as physicians or dentists. As you step into the world, know that your time here has been well spent and that we entrust you with the responsibility of excellent patient care. For those of you entering fellowships, know that your education at the Graduate School of Medicine should leave you well prepared for the challenges you will no doubt face. All of you are bright spots that will represent the Graduate School of Medicine in stellar fashion.

As we move into the next year, I am excited to tell you about another very bright spot. The Graduate School of Medicine has formed a Board of Visitors whose mission is to advise the Dean and to assist the Dean in strategic planning, the development and implementation of short- and long-term goals, community outreach and service, and the garnering of financial support for education, research and clinical care. The members of the Board were selected based on their expertise, interests in medical education and research, and ability to help the Graduate School of Medicine accomplish its mission.

The initial meeting of the Board of Visitors was held on June 3, 2009. I am delighted to say that all members participated fully as evidenced by the myriad of questions raised and suggestions provided. Under the direction of the Chairman, Dr. Joe Johnson (President Emeritus, University of Tennessee), each member learned about the Graduate School of Medicine, and we learned from their perspectives and knowledge. Based on this initial meeting I am even more convinced that this group of excellent individuals will be instrumental in guiding the Graduate School of Medicine in good times and in difficult times. At the evening session, four residents and one medical student told their stories to the Board. The residents were Dr. Mackenzie Hay in Family Medicine, Dr. Laura Sullivan in Internal Medicine, Dr. Samantha Evans in Pathology, and Dr. Michael Godbold in Anesthesiology. Our medical student was Shane Kelly. All of them were both enlightening and entertaining.

I would ask you as faculty, residents, medical students or staff to thank any of the Board Members you may know personally or professionally. Over the coming months, you will find them visiting us frequently whether it be in the Simulation Center, shadowing residents or attending meetings. The names of our Board Members are:

James J. Neutens, PhD, FASHA
Dean

Mitchell Goldman, MD, Chair, Professor, Surgery, was honored last month by the Kidney Foundation of East Tennessee for his dedication to the treatment of kidney disease and organ transplantation. The inaugural Henry H. Dent, Jr. Founder's Award was presented to Goldman on May 15 during the foundation's spring gala. For more than 30 years, Goldman trained at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital at Harvard Medical School under Dr. Joseph Murray, the Nobel Prize winner in the field of transplant surgery. In 1985, Goldman performed the first kidney transplant at UT Memorial Hospital and Research Center (predecessor to University of Tennessee Medical Center). He has been at the UT Graduate School of Medicine for 24 years.

Keith D. Gray, MD, Assistant Professor, Surgery, recently performed open hepatic microwave ablation, the first such procedure in Tennessee. Microwave (MW) ablation, a relatively new hepatic ablation technique in the U.S., uses probe-directed microwave energy to ablate tumors. Compared to radiofrequency ablation, this technique offers the advantage of ablating tumors at higher temperatures (up to 150 C), killing tumors situated close to blood vessels, and ablating larger tumors.

Dr. Gray emphasizes that MW ablation does not replace surgical resection but can be used as an adjunct to surgery and with patients who are not good surgical candidates. Since his inaugural procedure, Dr. Gray has found hepatic microwave ablation to be a suitable option for other patients with a variety of the different malignant tumor types.

Similarly, J. Mark McKinney, MD, Chair, Interventional Radiology, recently was the first in the state to perform percutaneous hepatic microwave ablation. Overall, MW ablation expands the options available for patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors. Dr. Gray expects that the technique will find increasing appeal in the ablation of other solid organ tumors.

Family Medicine has earned accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association for six of its 24 resident positions, which was effective April 30. These accredited positions will be available to two new residents each year. This will allow Family Medicine to provide residents the training they need to become board-certified practitioners of osteopathic medicine, including training in osteopathic manipulation treatment. Doctors of osteopathic medicine use conventional methods of diagnosis and treatment but are also trained in manipulation and work toward disease and injury prevention. The Family Medicine program has been training physicians with both medical (MD) and osteopathic (DO) degrees since 1974. For more information, contact Amy Keenum, PharmD, DO, at 305-9352.

The UT Graduate School of Medicine Urology Residency Program, directed by Fred Klein, MD, received a 5-year accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. This demonstrates that the program is one of the best in the country meeting, if not surpassing, all requirements for trained residents to become board-certified practitioners. The accreditation also allows the program to increase its number of residents from four to six.

The Division of Urology is a section of General Surgery and the only surgical subspecialty offered at the Graduate School of Medicine.

The UT Graduate School of Medicine Medical Simulation Center opened its doors to new learners and received a unique payoff.

On May 1, after a year of preparation, Medical Simulation Center staff received an arm, leg and an aorta developed by seniors in the UT Knoxville (UTK) Biomedical Engineering Department, who are part of a program called the Capstone Experience. This two-semester course gives students experience in solving real-world engineering problems.

Last year, Simulation Center staff met with sponsors from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the UTK engineering department to present a list of anatomical models that would benefit Graduate School of Medicine physicians in training. These needs included an open abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery model, a venous and arterial injection model, and a blood vessel suturing model. The models would need to be anatomically correct and functional, including veins and arteries with "blood" pumping through them and proper tissue characteristics. Most importantly, the models needed to be inexpensive and reusable.

Half of the students participating in the Capstone Experience, with help from ORNL, chose to work with the Simulation Center to develop the requested models as part of their final projects. The teams were successful in their efforts to create realistic, inexpensive, maintainable models and materials that will enhance physician training in the Simulation Center.

After a successful inaugural year, the Simulation Center plans to continue its new partnership with ORNL and the engineering department. Staff hope to create a multi-disciplinary graduate certificate program in Medical Simulation. For more information regarding this program, contact Melinda Klar at 305-9227.

Murray Marks, PhD, Associate Professor in Pathology, Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, led the 10th Annual Human Remains Recovery School at the UT Forensic Anthropology Center, commonly referred to as the "Body Farm," May 11-15. Forty-five Federal Bureau of Investigation agents that lead the Evidence Response Teams participated in the week-long class to learn discovery and excavation techniques for clandestine graves. The course included sessions on forensic archaeology, anthropology, entomology and dentistry.

Pathology residents Ashley Zezulak, MD, and Samantha Evans, MD, also participated in the course. In addition to Dr. Marks, faculty included his former students and international scholars from Germany, Australia, Canada and Italy.

The UT Forensic Anthropology Center is the only place in the country with this type of hands-on training. To date, the Human Remains Recovery School has trained 450 FBI agents from across the country.

UT Graduate School of Medicine faculty physicians were voted into leadership positions for the Tennessee Medical Association (TMA) and installed into office at the TMA Annual Meeting in Nashville, April 3-5.

On the executive committee, Richard DePersio, MD, FACS, Clinical Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, is serving as TMA president. Providing leadership on the Board of Trustees are Roy King, MD, Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology, and Matthew Mancini, MD, Associate Professor of General Surgery.

Dr. DePersio is also providing national leadership as an American Medical Association Delegate for the TMA.

Faculty and resident physicians successfully completed the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) exam Feb. 27, offered for the first time at the UT Graduate School of Medicine in the Medical Simulation Center. FLS certification is a new requirement for the American Board of Surgery for general surgery residents graduating in 2010 and thereafter.

Completing the exam were

UT Graduate School of Medicine Faculty:
Brian Daley, MD, Professor, Division of Trauma/Critical Care, and Associate Program Director, General Surgery Residency Program
H. Sperry Nelson, MD, Professor and Chief, Division of General Surgery
James Lewis, MD, Assistant Professor, Division of Surgical Oncology

General Surgery Residents:
Dustin Smith, MD
Cynthia Talley, MD
John Milligan, MD
Sabina Siddiqui, MD
Christy Lawson, MD
Fernando Aycinena, MD

OB/GYN Resident:

"FLS simulates laparoscopic skills needed in the operating room and alleviates anxiety of learning these skill sets in the operating theater. FLS is a critical tool for early learning and helps build the confidence of surgeons at all levels," said Dr. Lewis.

FLS is designed to teach the physiology, fundamental knowledge and technical skills required in basic laparoscopic surgery. The cognitive section of the two-part proctored exam assesses the understanding and application of the basic fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery, emphasizing clinical judgment and intra-operative decision making. The manual skills section intends to reflect the hand-eye coordination and psychomotor skills unique to laparoscopic surgical maneuvers. FLS permits learning and practice in a completely safe environment, taking the learning out of the operating room and into the lab, minimizing patient risk.

Look for the ~New Conference~ notation, announcing conferences offered for the first time.

September 11-12, 2009: Heart, Lung, Vascular CME Conference, UT Conference Center

~New Conference~ October 22, 2009: 2nd Annual Stroke Symposium, UT Conference Center

The annual Heart, Lung, Vascular Conference for primary care providers is set for Sept. 11-12, UT Conference Center. This continuing medical education activity offers 11.5 credit hours and will focus on the tools and treatments for improved patient care.

Tennessee ranks 48th in cardiovascular deaths. Atrial fibrillation affects 10% of the population over age 70 and is usually first confronted by primary care providers. The most common cause of death among their patients is vascular disease.

The Heart, Lung, Vascular Conference will help primary care providers tackle these looming health issues by providing the latest information and tools from experts, including Thomas Giles, MD, Professor of Medicine, Tulane University School of Medicine, Louisiana.

Attendees will leave this conference with the basics of cardiology and pulmonary information as well as knowledge of the most recent advances in the field. In particular, participants will learn about adequate blood pressure control; appropriate screening of patients; correct therapy for atrial fibrillation patients; and treatment goals for various subgroups.

The HLV Conference is offered by the UT Graduate School of Medicine and Internal Medicine and directed by Stuart Bresee, MD, Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine, Chief, Cardiology Division.

Registration for the conference will open soon at www.tennessee.edu/cme/HLV2009.

The Second Annual Stroke Symposium, Continuum of Care: Impacting Management, Improving Outcomes, Oct. 22, UT Conference Center, will present information for healthcare professionals practicing in emergency medicine, family medicine and internal medicine, as well as pharmacists, advanced care nurses, staff nurses, therapists and other professionals who work to prevent and treat stroke. Presented by the University of Tennessee Medical Center Brain and Spine Institute and UT Graduate School of Medicine, the symposium will offer seven CME credits through AMA, AAPA, ACPE and TPTA as well as CEUs.

Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality in Tennessee, yet stroke patients' care differs across the state. The Tennessee Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Plan outlines objectives to prevent stroke, improve access to care and emergent treatment, and ensure that all Tennesseans diagnosed with stroke receive aggressive treatment to prevent mortality and associated complications or disabilities.

The Second Annual Stroke Symposium will provide education to improve the healthcare provider's knowledge of these guidelines, which is critical to improving outcomes for these patients. Participants will learn about evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of stroke; interventional management of cerebral aneurysms; strategies for primary and secondary prevention of stroke; post-stroke rehabilitation priorities and innovations; evaluation and triage of patient problems; and drug therapies for stroke patients.

Information will be presented by experts in the field, including Todd Crocco, MD, Chair and Fellowship Director, Department of Emergency Medicine, West Virginia University; James Groce, III, PharmD, CACP, Professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice, Campbell University School of Pharmacy, North Carolina; and Corley Roberts, MHS, Director, Quality Improvement Initiatives, American Heart Association, Tennessee.

Directed by John Beuerlein, MD, Medical Director of Knoxville Inpatient Physicians and University of Tennessee Medical Center Primary Stroke Program, this CME event will open registration soon at www.tennessee.edu/cme/Stroke2009. For more information, contact Communications and Outreach at 305-9190.
